London Skolars coaches Joe Mbu and Oliver Bloom have been handed six-month touchline bans - three months of which are suspended - after they were involved in a brawl.
The 27-year-old Mbu, a former Harlequins forward who retired from playing at the end of the 2009 season, was shown the red card by referee Peter Brooke for his part in a touchline flare-up during the closing stages of the Skolars' 42-22 home defeat by Doncaster in a Co-operative Championship 1 game at the New River Stadium 11 days ago.
Head coach Mbu and his assistant Bloom were both charged by the Rugby Football League's match review panel with running in and punching and were found guilty when they appeared in front of the League's disciplinary committee on Wednesday.
As well as the touchline bans, the Skolars were fined £2,500, with £500 payable immediately and the rest suspended for six months.
